"=MROUND(A3/60;0.25)" this formula seems to work converting minutes to hours to the nearest quarter hour, where A1= any number of minutes

i tried "=MROUND(A1;1/96), but i kept getting the exact number that was in A1

The reason you got the same number is that A1 did not contain a special "time" number. You did say originally it was a "minute" collumn, not an ordinary number collumn
